Hm....

From this week's post secret:



that seems kind of wrong...but, well, I don't generally make out with guys.

So... if you're making out with a guy (on a date, or in other circumstances, but let's assume you're not actually having sex with this guy) and he gets a boner... is that a good thing?  Or a bad thing?  Is it something he should be trying to avoid?  (Why?)

Never paid attention. But, thinking about it, if it was a first date when I was younger and more uncertain about this whole sex thing, a boner might have been awkward to deal with.

Also, if he's someone who finds boners really painful, or distracting, or just has a tendency to leak, he may find that he can concentrate much better on the "making out" without one. I'd appreciate that effort.

Is it just me or does "making out" make the person sound young? "Inappropriate" boners are an especial concern of youth.

I don't find "making out" a "young" term. Heck I still use it. :) And, I don't have a better term for sessions of extended kissing.

The term "making out" implies some things that are perhaps not so good. But it also implies some things that are delicious. :)

Necking. :)

(Though ditto on still using the phrase 'making out.' It gets the idea across....)

Yeah, necking is another term -- though I don't think it is a better term. Hm... and I think necking may just mean extended kissing, while I think making out may also allow for... caressing and a bit of groping, maybe.

Canoodling!

Hm... always a fun term, especially in a canoe!

Snogging is another great word for it.

And I'm totally fine with people I'm making out with getting erections! Absolutely in favour of it! I wouldn't be making out with them if I weren't.

Yeah, snogging is a good word, just not one I tend to think of using.
